Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately operate a motor for operating a clutch and prevent the motor from being seized in an electrically-operated reel for fishing capable of performing the scooping up operation. CONSTITUTION:A signal for clutch releasing operation so as to make a clutch operating motor 37 perform the operation to release a clutch is generated from a controller 38. When a signal for the released state of the clutch is not inputted from clutch operation state sensors (M2 and 44b) to the controller 38 even if the signal for the clutch releasing operation is generated a prescribed number of times, the generation of the signal for the clutch releasing operation is stopped for a prescribed time to wait for the restoration of a power source voltage. After restoring the voltage, the signal for the clutch releasing operation is regenerated to accurately operate the clutch operating motor 37.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel and, more particularly, to an improvement of an electric fishing reel that can be wound up in a crispy manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present application has previously proposed an electric fishing reel capable of winding a crimp (Japanese Patent Application No. 3-2867).
06). In this proposal, a clutch mechanism is used to force the spool into a wound or free state,
The clutch mechanism is in a connected state (on state) or a released state (off state) depending on the forward / reverse rotation of the clutch operating motor.
To be

The connection or disconnection of the clutch mechanism is performed in the "process from the start of feeding the fishing line to the end of a series of operations after the rattling operation" shown in FIG.
It will be performed at time points 1 to 3 described below.

At this point, the clutch is "released" by the fishing line feeding start signal, the spool is freely rotated, and the fishing line is fed. At this point, the clutch is “engaged” by the predetermined water depth signal when the fishing line is delivered to a predetermined water depth (shelf), and the delivery of the fishing line from the spool is stopped.

At the time point, after the first crimping operation is performed with the clutch in the "connected" state, at the end of the first crimping operation, the clutch is "released" in order to return the tackle to the shelf again.

At the time point, the second shake operation is "connect"
After that, the clutch is “released” to return the tackle to the shelf again at the end of the second crimping operation. At the time point, after the second and subsequent crimping operation periods, the clutch is “engaged” and the fishing line feeding is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed or when a completion signal arrives at the completion of the predetermined yarn length feeding.

Then, at the time points ,,
Since a sufficient driving voltage (battery voltage) is applied to the clutch operating motor, abnormal rotation of the motor, burnout, etc. will not occur.

[0008]

However, at the above-mentioned time point, immediately before the "shaking operation period"
The spool driving motor (motor different from the clutch actuating motor), which has a relatively large driving power, is intermittently rotated, and the crisping operation is repeated to wind the fishing line. Therefore, the battery voltage may drop due to the power consumption of the spool driving motor, and a sufficient voltage may not be applied to the clutch operating motor. As a result, malfunction of the clutch may occur, and seizure of the clutch operating motor may occur if the clutch release signal is continuously output until the clutch is “disengaged”.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in which the clutch does not malfunction.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel in which a clutch operating motor is prevented from burning.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a clutch mechanism operated by a clutch actuating motor, wherein a spool driving motor is intermittently rotated to perform a rattling operation. On the reel,
A clutch operating state detection device for detecting a connected state or a released state of the clutch mechanism, a storage section for storing a predetermined time, and a control device for controlling an operating state of the clutch mechanism, the control device including the clutch When the clutch release signal for releasing the mechanism is not released even when the clutch release mechanism is released, the clutch release operation signal is stopped for the predetermined time and then the clutch release signal is output again. .

[0011]

[Function] The clutch mechanism is in the "connected state" during the crimping operation. When the first scraping operation is completed by the intermittent rotation of the spool drive motor, the clutch release operation signal is output from the control device, the clutch mechanism should be in the "released state", and the fishing line should be reeled out again.

However, since the power supply voltage (battery voltage) is lowered by the intermittent rotation of the spool drive motor, the clutch cannot be operated by the clutch operating motor.
The clutch mechanism may not be released, and the clutch release state signal may not be input to the control device. In such a case, the control device suspends the transmission of the clutch release operation signal for a predetermined time and waits for the recovery of the battery voltage (voltage increase). And
When the clutch release operation signal is output again after the battery voltage is recovered, the clutch actuating motor is operated and the clutch mechanism is put in the released state.
